Most interesting post!
I worked at NSA and a couple of their field sites starting in 1961 for the next 20 years. The magazine mentioned was required reading while I was immersed in an intensive course learning the Russian culture. I had to almost become a Russian to be able to do my job well as a cryptanalyst.
Fast forward 50 years when being transported to the airport in Moscow our tour guide caught me away from the group and asked how come I knew so much about her country. It blew me away so I stammered something about taking a Russian history course in college and hurried on down the corridor toward the plane.
Could almost hear my name being mentioned along with Gary Francis Powers.
